TopStyle Editor's Review

TopStyle is a powerful tool for creating and editing style sheets. You can also use the preview feature to check your work before implementing it on your website.

You can use TopStyle to generate a style sheet from an existing HTML file by applying styles to all the necessary tags. You can still alter the document's properties manually, but the software also has drop down menus that make job easier.

One problem in converting HTML documents to CSS is the possibility that some of the properties in the existing document may not be supported under the current CSS definition. Spotting such incompatibilities is easy -- the program highlights them in red for instant visibility.

One key feature of TopStyle that will really save you a lot of time is the ability to preview your style sheets. The editor can show you your documents as they will appear in various commonly-used web browsers, giving you a handy sandbox where you can experiment with new style sheets without worrying about breaking your existing web page.

As well as highlighting any errors, this feature also lets you see at a glance if anything won't display properly in a particular browser before you implement it. This makes producing cross-browser compatible style sheets much easier.

Pro's: Powerful, full-featured, with valuable previewing features.

Con's: Not all features are available in the free version.

Conclusion: TopStyle will make life much for those who are new to CSS. Old hands will appreciate the way it streamlines style sheet creation and testing.
